Ed. PRRss.-A good deal of attention
s now directed to the Alton district
Negotiations are now going on that are
iikely to lead to sale of the Cleveland"
ledge and the working of the mine.
Experts have visited it and pronounced
favorably upon it and more are expected
soon. Several men are working on It.
The Beck" is also coming to the
'front.'. Some work by way of develop
ment is going on it also. That portion
OF the trail beyond the south fork is
being improved under the able superin-
tendence of Frank Smith and it will
soon be good road.
We met Mr.. D. Holton. of your place.
few days since. "How are you ?" he
said. Fine. How do you do? Who's
that with your" "Oh! his name ia
Weeks. He's been on the prairie for a
year or two. He's looking for Job"
Very true, but not the kind of Job we
supposed. Then we had dinner, pro-
duced bottle of whiskey, swapped
yarns Of malodorous and ancient flavor.
and at parting the gentleman hoped he
would meet us in town as he was going
to preach at the school house the next
Sunday evening. When we had re.
covered our breath we fastened to con-
gratulate the reverend gentleman ON
the splendid field for operations he
would find in Warrens. At the appoin-
ted time he proceeded to address his
audience at the only saloon in the place.
The camp was present. 1t is not often
we get to hear clergyman. Mr.. w. ia
man of fine address. A graduate of
an'eastern university, his scholarship is
OF high order. His discourse was appro-
pirate to the occasion and the audience.
impressive, forcible. at times rising to
eioquence. The subsequent collection
raised us in his esteem. Even such
venerable sinners as the two Browns,
Bob Devine and Orcutty fcrbore their
usual visits to their customary hauuts
and contributed ducat instead to the
widows and orphans mite.
AT the conclusion of the sermon whan
the pastor and his lambs had departed
Mr.. Holton announced that for the
amusement of the boys he would open
faro or monte as the audience might
choose. The majority preferred faro as
being the most intellectual game. Mr..
Il. then proceeded to clean up the cash
in the sinners pockets In the
most genllemanly manner and Accord
ing to the best approved rules of the
game. BY midnight the camp was
wrapped in that peaceful slumber that
comes to saint and sinner alike as the
reward of good deeds, and all Warrena
voted unanimously that it had never
before experienced pleasanter even

CLYDE UNTALN DEAD.
Struck by lightning and IN
stantJy Killed on a WyO-
ming StOck Range.

Mrs. j. w. Eastman received durin,
the week particulars of the death of hel
son, James Clyde Fountain, who dice
on Saturday. July 30th 1887, from {
stroke of lightning. Deceased was in
the employ of John Siers, of Lewiston
Dir. Siers in writing of the occurrence
says:
ave had very heavy storm yester-
day evening, and Clyde was struck by
death. We looked for him and did not
find him for 30 minutes otter the acci-
dent, about half a mile from camp. 1t
struck him on the head and followed
his clothing down to the seat of his sad
die and through and through the horses
back to his head. His clothing was
torn to atoms. I am sorry that under
the circumstances we are unable to send
his remains home, as we are 100 miles
from any town, but we will do what we
can, as we thought great deal of Clyde
and he was a general favorite among us.
We will give him as good burial as we
possibly can on a ranch hear by n
expect to be home this fall.
Mrs. Laura M. Clarke, on whose ranch
Clyde was buried, also wrote a very
sympathetic letter to Mrs. Eastman
giving the following details of the.
burial:
"He was buried in our pasture with
an enclosure around the grave SO that i'll
Is we'll protected. We had no prayer
book, 30 that we could not have
church service, but we sang the hymn
Just rs am without one plea" and my
b., ,rlN. "a Il
John xi, xxiii-xxvii, and Psalm xc. and
offered u prayer. We felt so much SYM
pathy for the old man, your friend; he
seemed to feel as muth grief as though
it had been the death of his own son. /
The coffin was rough and we all wer
strangers but one or two, yet yonr soh
was buried with gentle hands aud hearts
that felt nothing but friendship and
sympathy. When my husband went
with the old gentleman to the scene of
the death the men had him dressed and
ready for his burial, and the old man
put his own pillow under his head.
There was so little we could do that it
seemed very mournful though we know
that the souls of our dead are in need of
no help from us, it is comfort never
thetess. 1t was IL o'clock when they |
left here to bring the body, and at 2
" SaoSA on SOdOodtli tlbcIuOOh, July Okot
he was laid to rest
My husband and l desire to extend our
sincere sympathy and earnest prayer
that our heavenly father who sent his
own son to bear our SORROWS may be to
you a comfort and a solace.
The accident happened on the head

Harrisburg, Linn Co., Ogn.. and was 27V

IHE MosoUITo.-Back east Professor
Somebody has been lecturing about the
mosquito. Out here on Camas prairie
we are not afflicted with the yarmints.
The professor says that the male NOS
quito is gentleman of elegant leisure.
tie tolls not. neither does he molest
mankind. 1t is the lady mosquito who
makes life burden to humanity. She
seems endowed with vocal powers equal
to steam calliope; she presents her
bill with all the persstency of a col
lector for a commercial agency, as do
the agents sometimes, only after the
shedding of blood. The professor
thinks that mosquitoes were not made
in vain. Well, perhaps not; but what
good object can be served by an insect
with seven proboscis, and seven sepa-
rate instruments for piercing the flesh is
more than we can tell.

was away up in the world. Like most
of the rest of us he has 'gone broke"
Two or three times, and came here few
years ago badly strapped. He is now
firmly planted on his feet again and is
growing rich in the possession of land
and cattle which shows what wonder
fnl country Camas prairie is for those
who perceive the offers to indus strions
men to make comfortable competence !,

SCIENCElN AUSTRALIA.

The colonies of Australia and the
neigIiboring islands have some
twenty scientific societies. with ID
membership of between $500 and
1000. These organizations are to
meet in 1888 for the purpose of form
ing an Australian Association for
the advancement of science, similar
to the important associations now
existing in England, France and the
United States.

An Ottawa dispatch of the lst,
says railroad men say that the re-
cent snow storm was unprecedented
in the history Of railroading in Can
ada. Trains in every quarter have
been showed up for three duys, and
relief parties with provisions to
keep the imprisoned passengers from
starving have to be sent out on snow
shoes. Lumhermen report that
there are from IL to 20 feet Of snow
in the woods, and that it is impos.
sinle to do anything in getting out
logs. The lumber trade will sustain
great loss, and there is certain to be
a great scarcity Of logs in the
spring. It is also feared that owing
TO the enormous depth Of snow in
the woods there will be tremendous
foods and ireshcts when spring
opens.
